Literally trying to back it and cannot login. Not going to create another account because the first one won’t login, as what happens if I buy then cannot login too resolve any issues etc later? I’m credit card ready and Mattel is blocking me right now.

I’m still gonna think about it. That mentality was the biggest turn off for me the whole time There’s a quote I really like… “It’s bad to do something just because everybody else is doing it. But it’s even worse NOT to do something just because everybody else is doing it.” In other words, forget all the supporters and naysayers reasons for doing it or not doing it. It’s up to you. Do you want it or not? In the grand scheme of things, supporting it is not a commentary of you giving in to one group of people or the other. And if you don’t get it, that’s fine too. Life will go on. For what it’s worth though… with the early bird special this thing is more than worth it. I don’t think you would regret it at all if you backed it and it got funded. And if it doesn’t, you’re right where you are now. I love you. I still wouldn't say more than worth it. It's gonna come down to how much enjoyment I really feel I'd get from it. At the base tier, I think it's around a fair price, though I could still get something comparable for less money. I also couldn't care less about what stuff will sell for on the secondary market, since the value to me is based on whether or not I will enjoy what I'm paying for. I don't buy with the intention of reselling. What I really wish they had done from the start is like a 15-30 minute walkthrough of each the ring and the entrance. The promotional material they currently have for it, doesn't blow my mind. I'd like to see them size using stuff in real time to get a feel for how it really looks, and to get a sense of what I would like and dislike.

I still feel like this will be an uphill battle to hit 5,000. Once the Macho Man deal is off the table there won't be much movement. So we really need this to hit the 5,000 by next Thursday. Who will preorder this after the fact? no one. If there is a big push now, people will get FOMO and order it regardless of the Macho Man or not. If this thing hits 4k backers or something, I bet a lot of people will pour in so they don't miss the chance of owning it.

I was going to back two of these but Mattel only accepts Mastercard or Visa not Discover. I only was able to back 1 since I had to use my checking. I will back another one though in a few days. This is a great project and I'm glad Mattel was listening to feedback. I really hope it reaches 7k but even if it just hits 5k you get the full value. After listening to Steve on the MWF podcast, this feels like a passion project that they truly care about. I cant wait to see what other ideas they have in the future if this hits 5k. If I wasn't such a broke college student I probably would've backed 5 lol.

I also believe we have many more backers in waiting. Some are already backers, but once we get closer these extra funds will come in. We need to get as many as we can by the 14th to maximize these extra backers

Man, I really hope they meet the goal by the time Macho goes away. I think it’s going to be tough to convince people who miss Macho to pay the same price and NOT get him 😬

Even if you don’t want this try and make a deal with people on here and split the pieces. I’m sure you can find people to take all the parts.

What I don't understand about people is... Even IF you're not into this project due to size or generation, you putting a pending payment on your card does NOTHING but support future projects you MIGHT love. And then if it does go through, you can keep what you want from the set. Sell/trade the other stuff to get your money back; it'll all jump big in price once it's out and people have it in person and reviews come out etc. Hell, if you don't like any of it then definitely hold onto it for a year and trade it for figures you do want. It's gonna be a numbered piece and ultimates are gonna continue to be all the rage so this set as a whole could easily double in value or more. Look at Rock and HBK ultimates. It's a winning situation no matter what happens UNLESS it fails. What I don’t understand about people is… If I don’t want to purchase something, I’m not going to spend my money on said item. I’ll spend that money elsewhere. I buy to collect. I don’t buy to re-sell. As soon as everyone telling me why I need to plunk down $250 on this thing I don't want starts regularly depositing funds into my account, they can start telling me how to spend my money.

Noohoho Splitting this thing is gonna make 3-4 backers into 1 Not necessarily. I planned on backing 2, maybe 3....Financially that was going to be a pretty good chunk. I found someone to 1/2 the 2nd one with me so the 3rd one now is no longer a maybe but a for sure thing. Im going to have my set, an extra stage, & a 3rd set to sit on until the market is there again for resell.

I got to the checkout to see if it was true and only saw Visa or MasterCard options. I wasn’t gonna try putting in my Amex to test it. If they don’t take Amex, I’m definitely out. My only credit card is Amex and I’m not gonna use my debit card on this

Other than the figs, reselling these things are gonna be a pain. Good luck getting $100 for that entrance or ring. Especially when you factor in shipping costs and fees from PayPal and eBay. We see the demand for this stuff. It’s not really there. It took Macho Man to finally get people excited about it.

I'm going to end up backing this even tho this era is way before my time. Very cool set, sounds like the packaging will be awesome as well and having the figures packaged individually is a big plus as well. I don't see any of these items being re-released for a long time, if ever, so the value is only going to go up. And most of all I want this to succeed so we can get more items in the future.

I can't invest $250 here because in the future there might better projects I like more than this.

I was confused as to why they only accept those two payments. I was considering ordering 3 of these, then saw it wouldn't let me use my discover card, now I can only back 2.

No future projects (in the podcast, Steve says it very unlikely) if this doesn't hit it's mark. Unless your talking about other projects that aren't WWE related I understand your point.
